¿Qué pasa?

This year, we will be using Edmodo in our classroom. Edmodo is a free and secure social learning network for teachers, students, and schools. It provides a safe and easy way for us to connect, share content, access homework, submit assignments, and receive class notices. Only the students have the initial Group Code to join; after all the students have enrolled, I lock access and the code is no longer active. This prevents outsiders from accessing our class on Edmodo and provides a protected environment in which to manage class assignments, information, and interaction.

With Student Accounts, you can:

Send messages to the class and to me, but you cannot send private messages to other students

View homework assignments and due dates

Submit assignments and take quizzes

Access and print class documents

Receive updates on class and school events.

Edmodo is accessible online and on any mobile device with Internet capabilities (there is a free app for iPhone, iPad, or Android). You can access your account on the go, and adjust your notification settings within Edmodo to receive alerts via text or email.

Parents can also join our class site. The Parent Account allows you to observe your child's classroom activities, so you will always be updated about assignments, grades, upcoming events, and more. Your account is automatically updated as your child uses Edmodo and participates in his/her Groups.

Students will enroll in our Edmodo Group during class with our special group code. If you are interested in accessing your Parent Account, please send me an email with your child’s first and last name in the Subject Line. I will then send you the unique code for you to register for Edmodo and access your student’s information.

In the meantime, please sign the Edmodo Student Permission Form that students are bringing home. Or you can download a copy from this website (on the Inicio or Para los padres pages). Return the form to Sra. Espitia by Wednesday, September 4, 2013.
